The real deal – a traditional Irish pub with no music, no food, no styling – just great pints and an inimitable sense of timelessness
John Mulligan
One of Dublin's oldest and best-loved pubs, Mulligan's 'wine & spirit merchant' is mercifully un-renovated and likely to stay that way - dark, with no decor (as such) and no music, it's just the way so many pubs used to be.
The only difference is that it's now so fashionable that it gets very crowded (and noisy) after 6pm - better to drop in during the day and see what it's really like.
Closed 25 Dec & Good Fri.
